Little Emperor

C C G C

[Verse]
C
Hey little emperor come down from 
your throne
    G                        C
The hour glass is empty your time 
has come and gone

The battlements are crumblin' the 
walls are tumblin' down
     G                             
Your counselors and concubines are 
C
getting' outta town

[Chorus]
F                                 
Some say it's an omen some say 
               C
it's the winds of change
      F                       
Which ever way it's goin' it's 
                     C
blowin' like a hurricane

[Verse]
C
Hey little conqueror where you gonna
 go
    G                             
The world is even smaller than it 
C
was when you left home

Emptiness in front of you and 
detritus behind
  G                       C
Nobody ever told you that history 
was kind

[Chorus]
F                                 
Standin' on the corner your 
                 C
fortune blowin' in the wind
F                                 
Daddy didn't warn you there ain't 
              C
no goin' home again

[Verse]
C
No pomp and circumstance no more 
shock and awe
       G                           
You're just a little emperor that's
 C
 all

[Verse]
C
Hey little hypocrite what you gonna 
say
         G                         
When you wind up standin' naked on 
    C
the final judgement day

How you gonna justify it who you 
gonna call
G                                 
What if it turns out that God 
  C
don't look like you at all

[Chorus]
F                              
The leaves are in the teacup the 
                       C
hieroglyphics on the wall
F                                 
You ain't the first to rise up you
                           C
 sure won't be the last to fall

[Verse]
C
Hey little emperor come down from 
you throne
    G                         C
And let another emperor climb on
